I have been following this post and I know most people wouldn't know
a gusset from a pineapple and this kind of scares me. When folks pay
out a hundred thousand dollars for a Wanderlodge they must expect
that there buying a machine that will go for hundreds of thousand of
miles without a major problems.

Kind of makes our older Wanderlodges look a little bit better as I
have never heard of this type of problem with them.

Oh well I just hope if I ever get enough cash to buy up to a newer
model that this gusset problem won't happen to me but what a pain in
the butt to keep on thinking about while going down the road. Jon
